I'm waiting for reviews of the 6970. If it's really good, I'll get one. Otherwise, cash is going on SSDs.

580 wont be out this year.....dont fool yourself.

6970 probably as the 6990 will be going on £450-500 at launch i reckon.

None. Something else? SSD perhaps but that's not until Intel 28nm (is it?) are released.

before or after xmas ? 580

Voltage · 30 Oct 2010 at 21:34

after, lol it has not even taped yet, the only thing ive seen of it is paper releases.

If the 580 is out by Xmas, and I mean available to buy, I'll look at reviews and decide between 6970\580, whichever is better value for money. But if the 6870\470 price war kicks in I may be tempted by a crazy price as I've no card to game with just now and I have Fallout NV in front of me. :eek:

just get a 470 soon as the prices will probably continue to fall due to the 6870

hope ive helped

Seems like a lot of people are assuming this 580 is going to available in substantial numbers and actually affordable by people who aren't millionaires, and is actually going to out quite some time before AMD's 7*** series and will actually have a decent enough price/performance ratio to make it viable. Are people just taking the ****?

Well the 580, if available and I have my doubts it will be, will have to be competitive, price wise, with the 6970, otherwise epic fail.

the 580Gtx is not close to being ready... Damn i dont think they have even fixed the crap arc that make the 480GTX yet...

Role on the 6990 or the 7990...
